50th Marine Corps Marathon 2025
On October 26, 2025, I ran in the 50th Marine Corps Marathon. The full race FPV/POV video can be viewed on YouTube here: 50th Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) 2025 Full Race FPV/POV This race occurred during the government shutdown. There was a lot of anxiety on whether the race would happen as the Army Ten-Miler waited to practically last minute to say their race would occur, past where a lot of people cancelled travel reservations. Thankfully it was announced that Marine Corps Marathon would indeed happen further in advance. It would be a terrible tragedy to cancel a 50th birthday celebration.

Hartford Marathon 2025
On October 11, 2025, I ran in the 32nd Hartford Marathon. The full race FPV/POV video can be viewed on YouTube here: Hartford Marathon 2025 Race FPV/POV Since I didn’t win the Chicago Marathon lottery for 2025, I decided to take the opportunity to check-off another state that would have conflicted in the same time period. I set my sights on Hartford since it is the biggest marathon in Connecticut and hilly. I’m trying to target more difficult courses first and save flatter/downhill races for later when I assume I will get faster to take advantage of them.

The Beginning
Working in tech, I think of myself fairly savvy. But I have found website development to be challenging. I have long desired to have a website (not just for running stuff), but creating a website is very difficult since if you start from scratch you have to deal with coding of HTML/CSS/etc. I’m sure ChatGPT and the like make it easier now but I just wanted something already made that I didn’t have to modify. I also wanted to spend the least amount as possible so didn’t go with any pre-built websites on a hosting provider. Luckily, I found the Hugo software that makes website creation easier. It allows you to create a website based on user-contributed templates, so now I can more focus on the content instead of figuring out how to make a website work and look not bad. This is the beginning and I hope this website turns into something that will last a lifetime…
